Am I being stalked? Pt.1
All characters belong to their prospective owners. I am only borrowing them for the fun of it. I don't make any profits off it and never will. This is just purely for fun.
Kongpob's P.O.V.
Today I am off from work and I feel happy. I normally stay home and sleep, maybe read some books, or watch a little TV. Today I woke up and decided to go for a walk around town. I remember seeing a pamphlet on the local street market. I get some breakfast and then take a quick shower before I head out. I grab a motor-taxi to get me to the street market. I paid the driver when I arrived and looked around. Everywhere the eye can see was filled with bright colors and different things to look at. I smiled to myself and headed to a stall that was all about exotic flavors of honey.
"P' which one would you recommend?" I asked the owner.
"I would suggest you try our honey and strawberry combo. It is organic and very tasty."
"Okay. How much?"
"50 baht."
"Here you go P' thanks."
I walk away from that stall and see a stall full of books both new and old. I look around and see that there is a section on the supernatural. I decide to peek at the books. Most of them were about romance between a vampire and a human, or werewolf and demon. I shake my head as I continue looking trying to find a non-romance book. It wasn't until I was at the end of the aisle that I saw a book called 'The History of all Supernatural Creatures'. For some reason, this book was calling to me. I couldn't figure out why it was calling to me, but I decided that reading something new wouldn't hurt.
"How much for this P'?"
"200 baht."
"P' that's expensive. Would you take 120 baht?"
"I won't take less than 175 baht."
"165 baht?"
"Deal 165 baht."
I paid the owner and walked away feeling happy with my purchase. I don't know why I had to buy this book but for some reason, it was like some force was pushing me to do so. I smiled as I walked around the street market seeing the different stalls and making mental notes to myself and coming back more often and getting the things that I need/want.
After walking around for a while, I felt hungry and decided to stop at one of the street karts. I glanced the menu over and ordered pad thai and asked for a glass of water. While waiting for my order, I suddenly felt like someone was watching me. I quickly turned around and looked to see if I could see anything standing out or more accurately someone. I did a quick scan about three times before giving up and going back to waiting for my food.
Once the food arrived, I started eating and once again felt someone watching me. I turned around once again but still couldn't see anyone suspicious. I shrugged my shoulders and continued eating. 'I must be imagining things.' I thought to myself as I finished eating and paid for the food before checking my watching and seeing that it was already 1800 (6 pm). I decided to catch a taxi and head home. On my way to the taxi, I once again felt like someone was watching me. 'I think I'm becoming paranoid.' I said to myself as I get in the taxi.
Once in the taxi, I give him my address and lay back in the seat enjoying the smooth ride home and thinking about tomorrow. I must go to work and talk to Arthit. His actions a few days ago startled me and for some reason, I felt concerned for him.
During the ride home, I would just happen to glance out the window at the same time I got the sense of being followed. I would see a car following and just when I start to feel a little uneasy, the car would turn or go a different route. 'Great! Now I'm becoming paranoid.' I thought to myself as the taxi pulled up to my apartment. I paid the driver and got out. As I was walking to the stairs, I felt someone watching me. As I turned around, I saw a shadowy figure, but it only lasted for a second. Seeing that freaked me out and I raced to my apartment, unlocked the door, walked in and then bolted my door locked. 'Okay, calm down Kongpob. It could just be a coincidence. Don't become paranoid over nothing.' I kept telling myself like a mantra.
I quickly showered, made myself dinner and then went to bed still feeling uneasy and worried.
I'm sorry if this chapter isn't as exciting as the others.
